LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 9:
Chapter 9
She couldn't bear the presence of two concubines next to him, so she would actually take the initiative to take a concubine for him in the future?
Wei Hanzhang only felt that his eyes were dark...
"Ran Ran!" Mrs. Jiang saw her attitude and said anxiously: "If I had known this, mother should not have accepted the Gu family's marriage that day. You should have done the same as mother and found a husband with whom you have never been together before marriage and followed your parents' orders. Once you get married, you won’t talk about ‘minding’ or ‘liking’.”
This world is always harsh on women, especially harsh women.
How could her little daughter, who is as precious as a jewel, fall into the trap of "a pair for life" in the storybook?
Wei Heng, who was about to enter the door, listened to what he said. His steps were slightly hesitant, and then he walked in naturally. Seeing the mother and daughter, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? I heard your mother outside. The voices of the two women.”
“…” Wei Hanzhang was silent, stood up and bowed: “Daddy is going to court?”
Seeing his lively and well-behaved little daughter, Wei Heng looked soft and said softly: "It's not the next court. The prince is not in the capital recently. He has been exempted from two consecutive court meetings. My father just came back from duty and heard that you, mother and daughter Lively chat.”
There is a small court meeting on the fifth day of the dynasty, and only officials of the fourth rank and above are eligible to attend the court. Wei Heng's official position is the fifth-rank admonishment official, and he can only participate in the big court meeting on the 15th day of the lunar month.
The two major court meetings are omitted, so it will take more than a month.
As for why the prince was not even in the capital, even the imperial meeting was skipped. Wei Hanzhang, who grew up in Xuzhou, also knew this.
Because His Majesty the Emperor of the Daling Dynasty has been ill for a long time, the affairs of the government were handled by the prince seven years ago. If the prince who oversees the country is not around, why should the officials go to court.
Ms. Jiang got up from the couch. She didn't answer her husband's last words. She only waved to the servants to serve food.
Wei Yunpei had lunch at the Imperial Academy, and there were only three members of his family for lunch.
Liu Chen and his two concubines stood aside to wait for the meal. As soon as Wei Heng left, Wei Hanzhang asked nervously: "Did Dad hear anything?"
"It doesn't matter," Jiang waved his hand nonchalantly: "Your father's temperament won't care about these details. Your father and I have been together for many years. We only talk about our relationship as husband and wife. There is no need to talk about anything else."
Wei Hanzhang: “…”
No, why is this inconsistent with the original plot?
How does her mother's mentality resemble that of a vicious woman who was jealous of her concubine and plotted to murder her children?
Jealousy arises from love. Jiang has no concept of "love" at all for Wei Heng. Where does jealousy come from?
Could it be that the misfortune of the children later caused Jiang, the mistress, to change her temperament?
…
Mr. Jiang remembered yesterday that her mother-in-law asked her daughter to go to her place to meet her sisters today, and led Wei Hanzhang out the door not long after lunch.
Today is a sunny day, the spring sunshine is warm, and the scene of the revival of all things looks joyful. Jiang did not ask anyone to prepare a sedan chair, but took his daughter there in person. On the way, he happened to talk to her about the situation at home.
From the eldest son of the eldest son to the other concubine uncles below, Mr. Jiang described it in extremely detail.
Wei Hanzhang’s eldest sister had introduced many things in the letter. She listened carefully and thought of Wei Hanyue again.
In the original work, after Wei Hanzhang came back, no one, including the Jiang family, mentioned that she had a sister-in-law.
It's like, this prince's mansion has lost its fifth daughter. After passing a waterside pavilion, Jiang took Wei Hanzhang and sat down on the promenade facing the water to rest for a while.
She looked lovingly at her little girl who had just returned home and said: "When summer comes, when my son grows hairpins, the lotus flowers will be in full bloom in this lake. Then mother will give you a grand birthday ceremony, and we must let the whole capital know about our family." There’s also Xiaojiu.”
Wei Hanzhang felt a little sour in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask: "Mom, where is my sister now? Can you let me go see her?"
"Your sister...your sister is praying for the family," Jiang said with tears in her eyes. "Your grandfather gave an order that no one in the family is allowed to mention her, and you must not mention her again in the future."
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and whispered: "I know you care about your sister, and so does my mother. Don't worry, my son, everything is fine in your family temple. Mother has taken care of her, and no one will embarrass her."
Even if she goes to the family temple, she is still the legitimate daughter of the family, and there is no reason to be bullied by slaves. However, if a young lady of the right age is always accompanied by the ancient Buddha with green lanterns and a high-spirited spirit, she is afraid that life will be worse than death.
Mr. Jiang was so sad, and as a daughter, Wei Hanzhang felt even worse. She felt helpless and powerless.
Wei Hanyue was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family who was raised in a boudoir. She had never offended anyone, but she got into this misfortune. The popular candidate for the crown prince was kidnapped by the gangsters overnight. This matter was definitely not a small thing in the eyes of the emperor.
But what happened in the twelfth lunar month last year, the mastermind behind it has not yet been found. The gang did catch it, but no matter how they tortured them to extract confessions, they only admitted that they were motivated by **** and wanted to have a taste of the noble daughter of a noble family. As for whether Obey others and never acknowledge them.
Zhongyong Hou lost a legitimate granddaughter, so naturally he refused to give up easily. He tried his best and still couldn't do anything, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.
Such a huge shame, the whole capital was laughing at it, and Zhongyong Hou Weiping issued an order not to let the family mention this matter at all.
Privately, I have a few suspects in my heart, and they are all families with daughters who are expected to be crown princesses.
Wei Hanzhang thought carefully in his mind, and without much idea, he heard Jiang's voice.
She said: "Speaking of which, our Highness the Crown Prince is very much in line with what you said."
Wei Hanzhang raised his eyes with a puzzled look on his face: "What?"
"What else could it be?" Mrs. Jiang tapped her eyebrows and pretended to scold: "The man you said 'doesn't even look at the girl', looking at the entire capital, my mother can only think of our Crown Prince. "
“…” Wei Hanzhang was stunned and said in surprise: “I also heard in Xuzhou that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in charge of the country at the age of eighteen. It has been seven years now. He…”
Speaking of this, Wei Hanzhang suddenly thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not seem to have welcomed the Crown Princess yet...
Twenty-five years old and you haven’t welcomed the crown princess yet?
No, isn’t her sister a popular candidate for the crown princess?
Jiang Shi also thought of this, and she said with some sadness: "His Royal Highness has been in charge of the country for many years. His Majesty is gentle, diligent in government affairs, and he is kind and generous. He is praised by everyone in the court for being a wise ruler.
Although we have never chosen a concubine, no one in the government or the public has dared to raise objections to this. It was only last year when His Majesty issued a decree to select a concubine for the prince that we, aristocratic families, dared to operate. "
It is said to be an operation, but in fact it is to make a name for your daughter, whether it is a virtuous name, a talented name, or a good name. In short, you must let His Highness the Crown Prince know that I have a daughter in the family who is a perfect match for you.
The noble ladies of aristocratic families are all good at both morals and appearance. If they want to stand out, they must have advantages that are far superior to others.
